I live in Canada in Port Moody, BC (near Vancouver). Such a beautiful place to live.

The crafting world & all the fabulous people in it always make me feel so grateful and just plain glad. I'm excited to be able to share with all of You.

Set the craftiness free! (my crafty story)

The
greatest passion of the blog-side of my life, is to share things for
free. Commercially made supplies are lovely & I'm glad there are
such beautiful things on offer. I covet my fair share, but I
like to think that you can make projects for next to nothing.
(Though I do try to support crafting companies, especially small
companies and artists, as well.)

I stumbled on your site and i love it! I can't believe how much information you have gathered and how great it will be for me to use! I have only been stamping about a year and this will be a great resource for me! Thanks so much! Laurie

OMG!! your site is amazing!!! Thank u soooo much for all the wonderful info u provide!! It must take forever to keep this up!! I am a hobby demo with SU so this site really inspires me!! Thanks again for such great ideas, tech, and insight!! Keep up the beautiful work!!

Hi Mel (I'm emailing all the way from Australia). I stumbled across your site one night when I was lacking inspiration in my cardmaking & looking for new ideas. Wow - I am no longer stuck for ideas. You are incredibly talented & I love looking at each step of making your cards & what you write - it's so helpful. I have been cardmaking for 12 years, yet I am constantly amazed & delighted at the different products that we can use to make a beautiful card. Thanks heaps - don't stop the Blog! Jocelyn

I just want to thank you for your awesome blog... it is not only crafting informational, but just personally to know that I am not the only one who surfs the net looking at all the fun blogs... I only wish I had one and could make it as nice as yours! Keep posting, we are all reading.... but don't stress out about it... relax and enjoy the world!

I just found your site and I am thrilled beyond belief!! Your Blog is great and I love all the things you have on there to keep the creative ideas flowing! I can't wait to just be able to sit down with a cup of joe and totally explore! Thank you so much!

I don't know how I got here but I am so glad to be here! You have an amazing resource of information. You definitely think outside the box and I have much to learn from your amazing techniques! Thanks so much from a fellow Canadian now living in the US of A!

Thank you so very much for the awesome "collections" of craftiness. Your blog is just the kick in the pants I need to get busy in my craft room! I have subscribed, pinned and stalked you thoroughly! (kidding about the stalking part). Thank you so very much for sharing!

wuff... I try carefully to select words to describe how I feel about your work, but find it hard to write in brief... if there is chance that I can go to Canada, I would like to meet you, more than Niagara, and expecting you are still in love with your work, and nothing stop you.. my name Wirianto, from Indonesia. Wish to know you someday... If you come to Jakarta or Bali, please let me know.. and I agree with Dany... enjoy!!

Hi Mel, I am looking for someone to create a box template based on this http://www.littlecupcakeboxes.co.uk/cupcakeboxes/Cupcake-boxes-4-cupcakes-patisserie-design-683.html Are you abel to do this? Many thanks, Zena

Hi Zena, Thank You so much for stopping by. I hope you get this reply to your question since you are 'no reply' on blogger. :-) I'd love to help you with your template dilemma, but I try not to duplicate ultra unique templates in case of copyright and so forth... But you could fashion one quite easily out of a milk carton template or cut file, add a roof and a window. Hope that helps some. Warmly, Mel

Like a few other comments I read, I too just happened to stumble upon your blog. I am very excited to dust off my cuttlebug and use some of my embossing folders I have collected, but rarely used, based on some of your ideas. There are so many more ideas and links to so many others that I'm not sure where to start, or where to end. THANKS!

I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how to make your own overlays. I absolutely LOVE the ones you created but would also like to learn how to make my own. And if you would be so kind as to show how to do it in GIMP as well that would be fab. Thanks!!

A soaper gave your site to help with labeling ideas for soaps but methinks I will be visiting for this site rest of my days for the plethera of ideas you have!! Thank you for all your efforts! Wishing you all the best!

I also just stumbled on your blog through pinterest when i was looking for cards for men (saw your suit card).

I am very impressed (and at the same time humbled) by your generosity in sharing your templates and patterns for free as some people would have tried to make a buck by selling theirs.

You see I live all the way from the Philippines. And although there are scrapbook suppliers here and there, there are a lot of supplies not available here. Plus the fact that I do it only as a hobby (I have a regular job and I am a single mom and do handmade cards only for my friends), I try not to spend to much on it as I have to prioritize on how I spend my money.

This is why I am so happy on discovering your blog. Many many thanks and I hope you continue with this blog!
